BEAUTY: Interior--cityhomeCOLLECTIVE

Salt Lake City interior design firm cityhomeCOLLECTIVE creates some fantastic, inventive, unique designs. All I can say is I wish I had a client adventurous enough to let me curate a California Spanish/ Gothic/ 1970s/ ethnic/ Bohemian/ modern home like this! What a dizzying array of styles and silhouettes and materials, and taken all together, they make a wonderful palette and tell an amazing story.

BEAUTY: Interior--Etienne Hanekom

When South African interior designer Etienne Hanekom purchased his home, he designed it with a truly eclectic vision. See if you can spot which space is the kitchen (it is the ultimate in thinking outside of the box)!

BEAUTY: Interior Design--Pierce & Ward

This lovely home was designed by interior design team Pierce & Ward. What an eclectic assemblage...a molded Eames chair here, a Moroccan leather pouf there, a splash of Bohemian-style Persian rugs, and a smattering of antique chests and turn of the century cane fauteuils. I love when a home feels not "designed" but "curated"--it is what I strive to do for my own interior design clients. And I know it will be polarizing to some readers, but I confess I really love the striped entry since it reminds me of the interior of the stunning Duomo di Siena in Siena, Italy!

BEAUTY: Interior--Black Lacquer Design

This home designed by Black Lacquer Design (founded by Caitlin Murray) is glamorous, modern, and eclectic--elements that look fantastic together (I really love the dark green cabinetry in the kitchen and the graphic black penny round tiles in the bathroom)...yet taken as a whole, there is a marvelous, skilled restraint that feels peaceful.
